Thieves in France stole two truckloads of champagne before police recovered the liquid loot – worth €600,000 (£525,000) – in a high-speed chase.
The drama began on Saturday near Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, where the lorries were reported stolen.
Officers were able to locate the vehicles, which were equipped with tracking devices, and gave chase on the A4 motorway between Reims and Paris.
The champagne was eventually retrieved but the thieves managed to escape.
